TermTasker (formerly known as Mortal Reminder) V1.0b

A lightweight to-do list CLI written in Rust allows users to easily add, list, mark and remove tasks, using Serde for JSON file storage for persistent data.

Features

• Serialization and Deserialization: Utilizes serde and serde_json for efficient data serialization and deserialization of task data.
• Command-line Styling: Enhances user experience with a colorful and styled CLI interface using owo_colors.
• Date and Time Handling: Incorporates chrono for precisely handling dates and times in task management.
• UUID Generation: Employs UUID to generate universally unique identifiers (UUIDs) for tasks.

Main Components:

• Task Structs and Enums: Defines structures and enums for tasks, statuses, and priorities.
• User Interaction Functions: Implements functions for user input, console screen clearing, and user prompts.
• File Management: Manages tasks in a JSON file (db/tasks.json), enabling read, write, and update operations.
• Main Function: Orchestrates the CLI functionality, offering a menu for users to add, list, mark, or remove tasks.
• Conditional Logic: Handles file paths based on the operating system using platform-specific conditional compilation.
• Error Handling: Ensures robustness with error handling for file operations, JSON parsing, and user input.

Installation

After cloning the repo run the following commands:

On Linux:

  cargo build --release

On Windows:

    cargo build --release

Creating an alias for the executable:

On Linux:

    alias tt="/target/release/termtasker"
    or
    alias termtasker="/target/release/termtasker"

On Windows:

    doskey tt=target\release\termtasker.exe
    or
    doskey termtasker=target\release\termtasker.exe

Future Goals

• Add support for MacOS
• Expand more options in the CLI
• Add searching for tasks by ID/UUID
• Optimize serialization/deserialization process
• Implement a Ticketing system for intercommunication between the task issuer and task doer
